Since 1994, more than 500,000 men and women have served in AmeriCorps, providing needed assistance to millions of Americans to meet critical needs in education, public safety, health, homeland security and the environment.

My AmeriCorps - Your Online AmeriCorps Recruitment System

To assist you in reaching a national pool of potential members, you can list your program opportunities and select applicants online.  We’ve consolidated our grants management and recruiting system so that you can perform both functions in one place.  You will access the recruitment system through eGrants, which you may already use. 

If you are new to AmeriCorps, you will need to register to get an account as a Grantee.  You will then need to contact your Grant Administrator to be given the capability to use the recruitment features in the system - a very quick and easy process.   Then you are ready to begin posting opportunities, searching for applicants based on your needs, contacting applicants, reviewing applications and selecting your volunteers.

If you have an account with our retired AmeriCorps Recruitment and Placement System, please click here to link to instructions for using the new system.  Your program and applicant information will have been migrated to the new system.

For more information, refer to the user guide and webinar available on our My AmeriCorps Training and User Support page or contact the System Administrator at admin@americorps.org.
